How Can I Get Practice Assignments for My Nursing Course?

Practice assignments in nursing are a trial run, and the more you do, the better your final mark is likely to be. Rather than going into a test blind, spend some time getting to know what the instructor is likely to ask and what you will be expected to do. Some tests, such as the National Council License Examination, are computer based. Other assignments require essay answers. Either way, practice assignments help reduce pre-exam stress. According to Karen Owens, an associate lecturer in nursing, "It shows in the quality of work when nursing students have done practice assignments. The test scores are higher and the essays are answered more thoughtfully."

      Check at the nursing library. Some nursing instructors file their past exam questions and assignments at the library as part of the permanent record, because this resource helps students prepare for tests. If you can't find the materials, ask a librarian for help.

    • 2

      Approach your instructors and inquire if they have past assignments that you could use to practice.

    • 3

      Ask other nursing students if they have last year's tests or examination questions. If you put out the word that you are looking for practice assignments, people who have them may offer to lend you theirs or let you photocopy them.

      Go to the source if you are writing the National Council License Examination. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing offers online practice tests to help nursing students prepare. Practice doing the computer multiple-choice test to become familiar with the format and the types of questions you will be expected to answer.
